This weekend, the Deseret News did a review of my book. This is my first encounter with less-than 100% positive feedback for the story, and it kind of made me take a step back at first. I then remembered that although I have put so much into this story and it means the world to me, not everyone is going to feel the same way-and that is okay. I am excited that this review will give me extra exposure locally here in Salt Lake...I just hope that the readers of the review still give the book a chance. As they say in PR, any news is good news, so I am going to look at this as a positive.
Today's penny story comes to us from my mom, one of my biggest supporters. Some of my story actually is based on some of my mom's strong feelings about pennies and I want to share her story with you today.
" Many of us believe our loved ones who have passed on leave us pennies of remembrance. My sister and I agreed she would leave me a sign. I have found pennies in the strangest places and at the strangest times in my life and I always acknowledge Jo when I do with a 'Thank you.' The one time the pennies from Jo blew my mind was on my 70th birthday. My three daughters and I were on our way to lunch at Trolly Square Spaghetti Factory . It was a rainy April day and at the front door in a rain puddle were '7' pennies. It made
me a believer-she remembered."

My mom is probably one of the biggest supporters of the notion that pennies come from heaven. Similar to the story I mentioned earlier last week, pennies give her the reassurance that Jo is with her, every step of the way.
